Good hotel near Sydney airport
Pros:

This is a good 3-star hotel easily reachable on the shuttle from the airport. It has good-size rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast is OK too.

Cons:

Alas, the coffee at breakfast is absolutely foul. It is not brewed, but comes in big 10-litre containers that are stored under the counter and accessed by a tap on the benchtop.
